622 deletes all non-locked recordings

[Tom Bombadil]

Went away on vacation with just 4 hours of recording space on my 622. Scheduled recordings then consumed 4.5 hours of space.

When I got back, all that was left on it were the 6 recordings that I had locked, plus the most recent recording. Apparently when it encountered a "no space remaining" error, it's solution was not to delete just the oldest non-locked program, but to delete all non-locked programs.

It now has 22+ hours of available space.

Have others seen this before?

Software is L405.

My brother had something similar happen some time back with his 622. Stuff started disappearing slowly at first till eventually it deleted all it had and new stuff wouldnt even stay a day before it would delete itself. Dish replaced it and the new one has been working fine.

This is the first problem I've had on my 622, which I got a year ago. This appears to be a software bug, in the programming that determines what should be deleted on a disk full error.

I have had random non locked deleted, but never all non locked deleted.

Definitely not normal. What do your logs show?

Wow, that blows!

It probably looks at the next 9 days of potential recordings and deletes accordingly to provide room for those future events.

There were only 3 hours of scheduled recordings for the next 9 days. 1 of those was SD. Yet it deleted over 30 hours of recordings.

I guess the lesson for me is to lock all recordings.

That's not good... I knew keeping the DVR clear with adequate space was important... now I have the evidence to show my wife!
